It's the 3qt version but really only holds about 2 1/4-2 1/2 quarts typical. It will depend on engine oil pressure also. My on track pressure was about 48-50 hot. When I put the car in the trailer I always bring the rpm up so I get the pressure up to about what it sees on the track because at idle I only have about 20-25lbs depending on how hot the oil is. I want a good amount to prelube when I start up next time. When I have changed oil and checked that's about what I have seen as far as volume in the accumulator.
